Hallo George,

my laptop is without network connections for several days sometimes and 
the hardware clock is very inaccurate. I did not record it exactly, but 5 
minutes off in 1-2 days is easily possible.

Chrony records that inaccuracy even without network access - as good as it 
can estimate it - and adjusts its the clock accordingly.

Regards,
